On June 23, 2020, detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) arrested two suspects linked to the Ksh. 198 million scandal involving the Kenya School of Law.
The suspects, Hudson Amwai, an accountant at the school, and Fridah Ngoya, a proprietor of a cosmetics firm, were arrested in Kaimosi, Vihiga County, before being transferred to Kisumu.
According to EACC Western Region Boss George Owira, the duo will be transferred to Nairobi to answer to the charges.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) had ordered for their arrest, along with 10 others, for their alleged involvement in the scam.
The duo is believed to be part of a group that colluded with firms in the alleged illegal payment of the funds.
As part of the scam, six companies associated with employees of the Kenya School of Law fraudulently received illegal payments and will be prosecuted for economic crimes.
The companies alleged to have received the proceeds include Infranc Investments, Deskench Investments, Firmline Company, Frigoya Investments, Ngoya Cosmetics, and Ademwa Enterprises.
Other suspects being sought include Frank Kackson Were, Achiro Nobert, Ephrahim Thuku, Amos Kabue Mwangi, Morris Kiwinda Mbondenyi, Paul Lovi, Francis Mwaki, Alfred Murange, Dennis Achiro, and Kenneth Ochieng.
